Mr.. Carlisle ON the Labor Interests.
In the course Of his remarks In the House to-day
Mi. Carlisle said
mo part Of our people are more Immediately or
vitality interested In the continuance of financial
prosperity than those who labor for wages. Upon
them and their families must always fall the most
disastrous consequences OF monetary crisis, and
they, too, are always the last to realize
the benent OF a return to prosperous times. Their
wages are always the first to fall when the crisis
comes and the last to rise when it passes away.
